Struggling with money for my trip?

Im going to Vietnam with a company called world challenge in the summer and it costs 3 thousand pounds. We are there for 5 weeks, trekking, climbing, doing community and voluntary work, seeing the culture etc. I am having real trouble fundraising, and so have written to loads of companys asking for sponsorship money but so far no one is willing. Does anyone know of any that do, or have sponsored them in the past? Do any of you want to sponsor me? Im desperate :( Ive been working my socks off over the past year, and still have a thousand to go :(

Thanks! :)
I already work two shifts a week and babysit and do odd jobs for locals to get money, but its still not enough :(
And I will write about it; we plan to keep a day to day diary out there :)

I do wish you the best going there. I haven't been there since the war and feel that I am not ready to go back anytime soon. Grief would take over like it once did. Even people tell me that the country has changed a lot, I just feel that the pain is always there waiting for me to return and consume me.

It sounds like you will have to find work if no company is willing to give you the cash. Hey, you can tell them that it is tax deductible if your company is a non-profit.

Are you going to write about your trip and time being there? I would like to know so I can see your adventure.
